WordPress iPad App: New Features Overview

WordPress has added many new features for their self-hosted WordPress blogs with the Jetpack WordPress plugin. One of those features is blog subscriptions, and with the new updated version of WordPress on your iOS device, the WordPress-pushed reader option is right inside of the app.

Now, if you have subscribed to any blog using Jetpack or the WordPress subscription feature, you can follow the blog’s updates right from the app.

Moreover, you can also browse recommended blogs in different categories and subscribe to them for updates. In short, the WordPress app on iPad or iPhone can now be used as a reader app, too.

Along with it, you can find your friends’ blogs on networks like Twitter, Facebook, and G+ with one click and subscribe to them for updates.

This is very useful in order to keep an eye on the latest updates from your friends’ blogs and be an active commentator directly from the app itself.

The best part is that by using your WordPress.com account, you can quickly comment from the app without filling in all of your details like Name, Email, and URL.

These are just a few of the features which were added in the latest iOS update. To get the complete look and feel of the WordPress app on your iPad or iPhone, simply go ahead and download this free WordPress app from the official App Store.

I have both an iPhone and an iPad, and I find this app to work best when I am using the big screen of my iPad.

It’s actually solved many problems for me when I needed to access my blog dashboard while I was traveling. Earlier versions were limited to only app-based features, and to access the dashboard I still needed to use the browser. This new built-in feature to access the web-based dashboard will make working a lot easier for bloggers who travel often.
